Az állattenyésztési kapacitás fogalma és szerepe a régiókban

Abstract

The concept of the animal breeding capacity (Seregi, 2009) has been determined for the definition of the supporting capacity and comparability of different geographical regions. Its dimension is: large animal/territory (ha). The supporting capacity is based on a calculation considering the generative (sometimes the invasive) races and the indigenous races and species. In the location and housing of the animals traditions are taking into consideration; the materials of animal breeding, the human support, the produced raw materials and products and their marketing are also linked to the rural particularities. The authors consider the determination of the yield of a crucial importance. The quantification number of the yield is the meat-equivalent, which shows the quantity of the produced raw materials in kilograms. This represents the quantity independent from the animal species and races, housed on the given region. Not only the meat, but the milk and the egg quantity are expressed in this way, too. The yield expressed in meat-equivalent can also be used for financial counts as incomes and expenses. In the present work two regions are compared: the West Transdanubian and North Plain regions.
